Tomorrow is ‘World Turtle Day’ established by non -profit turtle protection groups.
I designated it as an anniversary in order to protect the turtle that disappears due to indiscriminate capture, etc.
However, sea turtles are suffering from survival due to climate crisis and marine debris.

The situation in the sea turtle is dark.
Sand temperature rises every year due to climate change, which is a great threat to maintaining the sea turtle species itself.
[양수남 / 자연의 벗 사무처장 : 최근에 수온과 해변의 모래 온도가 상승하면서 대부분 암컷만 나오고 있습니다. 실제로 미국과 호주에서 연구 결과 대부분 다 90% 이상이 이제 암컷만 나오고 있는데요. 이러다 보면 결국 나중에 멸종의 길을 걷게 되는 것이죠.]
In addition, the sea turtle was in danger of survival as the nest flooded or disappeared due to the rising sea level.
Jeju is seriously eroded by the sea level due to climate change.
Jungmun Beach is also concerned about Jungmun Beach.
The Jungmun Beach was once spawned by sea turtles, but since 2007, it can no longer see it.
More immediate threats are marine waste.
In many cases, they are died of lungs or died after being mistaken for plastic.
About 30 sea turtles are found every year only around Jeju.

On the World Turtle Day, we need to respond quickly to the climate crisis and marine waste problems that threaten the survival of the endangered sea turtle.
